No. 47 of 1960) and Sales Tax Appeal No. 398 of 1959 (T.R.C. No. 48 of 1960) are identical in wording and reads as follows: "The turnover disputed relates to sales effected to parties in Madras State. The mode of transaction is as follows. The parties place orders with the appellant orally or through correspondence. The terms of sale are F.O.R., Quilon, Punalur, Edamon, or some other railway station in the State.

Explanation 1.-Where goods are delivered to a carrier or other bailee for transmission, the movement of the goods shall, for the purposes of clause (b), be deemed to commence at the time of such delivery and terminate at the time when delivery is taken from such carrier or bailee.

The phrase "integrated activities" used in State of TravancoreCochin v. The Bombay Company Ltd.[1952] 3 S.T.C. 434; A.I.R. 1952 S.C. 366. was further considered and explained as follows in State of Travancore-Cochin v. Shanmugha Vilas Cashewnut Factory [1953] 4 S.T.C. 205; A.I.R. 1953 S.C. 333. : "The phrase 'integrated activities' was used in the previous decision to denote that 'such a sale' (i.e., a sale which occasions the export) 'cannot be dissociated from the export without which it cannot be effectuated, and the sale and the resultant export form parts of a single transaction'.
